Making New Friends - PHP

It's just as simple to add new users and groups to the system - all you need to do is use patUser's addUser() and addGroup() methods, which accept an array of field-value pairs and uses them to create a new user or group record in the database. Both methods return the ID of the newly-created user or group if successful. Consider the following example, which demonstrates how to add new users:

<?php
// include classes
include("../include/patDbc.php");
include("../include/patUser.php");
// initialize database layer
$db = new patMySqlDbc("localhost", "db211", "us111", "secret");
// initialize patUser
$u = new patUser(true);
// connect patUser to database
$u->setAuthDbc($db);
// set table
$u->setAuthTable("users");
// add user
$uid = $u->addUser( array("username" => "tom", "passwd" => "tom") );
// check to see if user added and display message
if ($uid)
{
echo "User successfully added with UID $uid";
}
else
{
echo "User could not be added!";
}
?>

By default, patUser automatically logs the newly-created user into the system. You can avoid this by specifying a second argument to addUser(), as in the example below:

<?php
$u->addUser( array("username" => "tom", "passwd" => "tom"), false );
?>

In a similar manner, a new group may be added - here's how:

<?php
// include classesinclude("../include/patDbc.php");include("../include/patUser.php");// initialize database layer$db = new patMySqlDbc("localhost", "db211", "us111", "secret");// initialize patUser$u = new patUser(true);// connect patUser to database$u->setAuthDbc($db);// set table$u->setGroupTable("groups");// add group$gid = $u->addGroup( array("name" => "Human Resources") );// check to see if group added and display messageif ($gid){ echo "Group successfully added with GID $gid";}else{ echo "Group could not be added!";}?>
